She said: "For those who knew my sister Maxine, her beautiful daughter Yazmina is now with her, angels together."

Yazmina was just three when her mother, Maxine Carr, leapt from the balcony of their home in Maidstone, with her in her arms some 15 years ago, the Mirror has reported.

While Maxine, 33, tragically died following the seven-storey plunge, her daughter survived with broken bones to her arms, ribs, jaw and skull.

Not treated as suspicious

A Kent Police spokesman said earlier this week: “We were called at 10.12pm on Monday 1 October 2018 to a report that a woman had fallen from the Lunsford Lane bridge that crosses the M20 at Larkfield.

“Officers attended alongside South East Coast Ambulance Service and the woman, who was in her late teens, was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Her next of kin have been informed.

“The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will now be prepared for the coroner.

“The M20 was closed for a number of hours following the incident but had been reopened by Highways England by 5.30am.”
